I have 2 blogs I ran related to me (one more personal and one more professional.) I've decided that it would be in my best interest to merge the two but I don't want to lose the link juice I've received on either one. Is there an easy way to move all of the posts + images + comments from one site to the other and implement 301 redirects to forward traffic to the site they are moved to (both from the main page as well as each of the posts) without having to do it all manually? Thanks for any suggestions,
You can upload post from one blog to another using the "Export" function and you can redirect one domain to another. No problem. What do you mean by do it manually ? Are you looking for some kind of automated plug in that will do all of that with the click of a button? You can't redirect from a non-existent URL if you combine the blogs and delete one. Also, as soon as you delete the other blog, all of the images that you have uploaded will disappear. You will have to move the images as well and change the path of each to keep them where they are. Here is an article that cover that as well as importing your database information. May be what you are talking about, but it's not automated. http://css-tricks.com/combine-all-the-posts-from-two-wordpress-blogs-into-one/
